Guest Designer - Angela Hoynes

Today we introduce our Guest Designer for the  November Challenge please say hello to Angela from  Crafting with Jack who won the challenge back in September. Hello, my name is Angela and my blog is called Crafting with Jack. I came up with the name when I was sat at my desk and trying to think of what to call my blog and my dog Jack kept jumping in my lap!  I love all types of craft and art and have tried most of them. Currently my passion is mixed media and lots of lovely texture.  The project is a passport size album and I have used Crawford and Black acrylic metallic paints from the works, which I used on a Kraft card with a pattern on one side. The cover is embossed card and I have used Creative Expressions metallic gilding polish on it. I wanted to try designing a tabbed folder and I was very  pleased with the finished project.  Please do check out  Angela's  lovely altered canvas, we'd love for you to come...

DT Spotlight Tutorial - Christina

Image
  Hi everyone, I'm Christina, here today in the Design Team Spotlight to share an elegant and unique wedding card that I created for a friend of mine. The colours of light blue and royal red, related to their heritages/ancestors, makes this card extra specia l.   So let's get started... Using Tim Holtz mixed media card stock as a base, I ran the TH Sizzix texture fades in sparkle on the top half of the card stock. Then applied distress oxide in Tumbled Glass over the top and lightly sanded it.  To give it more definition, I randomly applied distress oxide in Broken China over the whole card (I didn't spritz the card with water because I wanted to achieve a chalk like finish) Next, I created three backgrounds using distress inks in Broken China, Peacock feathers and distress oxide in Candied Apple. I used Tim Holtz thinlits die in Funky Florals to  create the flowers. Now the fun part begins... WARNING.. be prepar...
